EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 288. Base-ball; Error, 1885" captures a moment of intense motion and action frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in collotype on paper, this print measures 26.5x28.9 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular image belongs to Volume I dedicated to males in various forms of movement. The sequence showcases early motion picture techniques through stop-motion frames, providing a scientific study into sequential movement. In this specific frame, we witness a man caught mid-baseball catch but with an unexpected twist – an error has occurred! The male subject appears completely nude as he reaches out to catch the ball, showcasing vulnerability and rawness amidst his athletic prowess. Muybridge's work revolutionized photography as it captured moments that were previously invisible to the human eye. This photograph not only highlights his technical mastery but also explores themes of nudity and nakedness within sports. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing image from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let yourself be drawn into the world of early scientific photography where art meets science in perfect harmony.
